Description

Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot is a powerful exploration of one man's struggle to find his place in a society obsessed with power and manipulation. After several years in a Swiss sanatorium, Prince Myshkin returns to Russia to collect an inheritance, seeking only to be among people. As he navigates the complexities of Petersburg, Myshkin finds himself drawn into a tragic web of obsession and desire, involving the enigmatic Rogozhin and the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna. The consequences of his presence are far-reaching, leading to scandal and ultimately, murder. This masterful translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky brings Dostoevsky's masterpiece to life in English, offering a definitive version of this enduring work of literature.
